Summary:                    ISA sscape driver does not find Soundscape Elite
Description: 
The ALSA driver builds fine, both as a module and built-in but
the driver does not find the Soundscape Elite card.

Is it a PnP card?  Otherwise you'd need to specify port, irq, dma and
mpu_irq parameters manually.

It is not a PnP card.  I have the following /etc/modules.conf:
------------------------------------------------------------
# ALSA portion
        alias char-major-116 snd
        alias snd-card-0 snd-sscape
	# module options should go here
        options snd-sscape port=0x539 irq=5 mpu_irq=9 dma=0 isapnp=0 

# OSS/Free portion
        alias char-major-14 soundcore
        alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
	
# card #1
	alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
	alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
	alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
	alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
	alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-os
--------------------------------------------------
and I've tried, in desperation, the following modprobe.conf:
--------------------------------------------------
alias snd-card-0 snd-sscape
alias sound-slot-0 snd-sscape
options snd-sscape port=0x539 irq=5 mpu_irq=9 dma=0 
---------------------------------------------------

The output of sscape_ctl --directory /boot 
gives me:

Error opening hw:0,0: No such device

It's not clear to me from the documentation
exactly how to configure the soundscape cards
in general.  Perhaps I need to try to load 
the firmware at a different point or to 
turn on the option 
"Userspace firmware loading support (FW_LOADER)"
when I compile the kernel to get sscape_ctl
to work.  

None of the things I've tried seems to work.
Do I have the correct syntax in /etc/modules.conf?
